Hi Lyn,
I am a descendant of Jacob ryerson and Sally Sarah Beam through their son Abram.Abram married Catharine Smith who I have a strong suspicion may be related to your Robert Smith (husband of Sophronia).Sophronia and Abram were brother and sister.
I am looking for info on Catherine's parents .Both Catherine and Abram Ryerson are buried in Ponds Cemetary in Oakland NJ. i am descended futher through them as follows:
Abram/ Catherine Ryerson
Mary Elizabeth Ryerson m William Dixon
James Dixon of Ramsey NJ m Eva Estabrook of Mahwah
Mary Dixon of Ramsey NJ m John Izzo of Sloatsburg
me
To answer your question regaring the Beem (Beam) family:
I have the parents of Sally (Sarah) as follows:
Abram Beam b 1730 m Sarah Mead b 1733
Parents of Sarah Mead are Pieter Mead and Janettje Brown
Parents of Abram Beam are Anthony Beam and Margretha (possibly a Lyene).Anthony is written about on the pages for Wanaque History.Quite an interesting fellow.
Happy to share any other information that you may like....
Nice to meet you!
